Robinsons Fruit Shoot Apple - 8 Pack

Robinsons is the squash name in most British kitchens, and Fruit Shoot is its grab-and-go side: the drink that lives in the lunchbox rather than the jug. For a whole generation it was simply what a packed lunch came with.

In Canada, it tends to be parents who come looking. They are packing lunches here and want the one they had, or their kids have been back to visit the grandparents and returned asking for the bottle with the funny cap.

This is an eight pack of ready-to-drink bottles, so there is no diluting and no jug to find. They sit in our fridge section, and they are at their best cold, so pop them in the fridge when you get home. One per lunchbox gets you through more than a school week, assuming nobody raids them after tea.

Plenty of people put a bottle of Robinsons squash in the same basket for home, and a few bags of British crisps to go alongside the Fruit Shoot in the lunchbox. That is the full packed lunch, more or less as you remember it.
